Computer History Museum in Mountain View to set up for Kaliya and Co’s
10<sup>th</sup> 3 day Internet Identity Workshop, which has been run in
full-on Open Space these past 5 years. I have the privilege of
facilitating this time along with news room assistance and overall holding
space support from the wonderfully present and organized Kas Neteler (who is
winging her way home - I hope smoothly - from WOSonOS as I type this) so that
Kaliya can participate in the important discussions about our Identities on the
Internet. So appropriate that these folks have been using Open Space for their discussions
that ultimately affect all of us who use the WWW!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Dear colleagues -<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>It is Saturday morning in Berlin and I look forward to a
lovely breakfast with Gail West (Taiwan), Brendan McKeague (Australia) and
Matilda Leyser (England), then off to the WOSonOS for the final day of the
event. I just wanted to share with you all that I so enjoyed a group I
hosted yesterday at the WOSonOS (It will not be in the Book of Proceedings
because we decided not to stress out about the Friday deadline for handing
notes in).<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I held up a blank piece of paper as my topic sign, selected
a time and space and placed the sign on the Agenda Wall.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>People gathered and sat in companionable silence in a
circle.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Then I wrote some thoughts on cards such as:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>___ <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Choices<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sit in silence<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Communicate in silence<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Experience an activity that can be done to help people
reflect in silence *before* discussion<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>___<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Other cards said:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Documentation?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Someone to note the time?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>(or something like that)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>___<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>In silence, we 'discussed' and agreed upon the agenda (the
time card was tossed away into the air, the documentation was my camera)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>We agreed to move from the sit-in-silence to the
'communicate in silence' portion of our session.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Much mutual appreciation, twinkling eyes and laughter,
exploring little movements together, a bit of running around for some of our
members, some putting of things on heads, some sitting laps and a high portion
of silliness followed.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Then we shifted into the 'an activity that can be done to
help people reflect in silence before discussion' portion of our agenda.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I guided folks (in silence, which is not usually how I
explain the guidelines) a reflective activity I have designed - and some of you
have helped me field test this activity in past WOSonOS and OSonOSs - which
invites participants to answer four questions by drawing their responses (no
text allowed). The process is called 'Graphic Window'. After
reflection and drawing in response to four questions, we spoke again, going
around the circle and sharing what each person drew and what they reflected
upon as they heard each of the four questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>___<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>It was all so lovely and nutritious - especially to have
silence in the midst of a high-talk environment such as an Open Space.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I bow (silently) with (silent) thanks to my fellow
explorers,<o:p></o:p></p>
